Marina Vathi, Ithaka

As I sit in the cockpit watching the sun slowly clear the hill to the east, a light breeze stirs the sea around my boat and a bird chirps in the nearby eucaliptus tree. A short walk away from town, this harbour is quiet, safe in most winds and beautiful. Used by fishermen all year round there is nothing much here in winter but come spring, the two restaurants open and the harbour fills up with yachts. 

Sometimes up to 20 flotilla yachts raft up on the concrete quay and only a few individual boats can med-moor in between the fishing boats. There is also an anchorage further west and a swimming beach close by. 
There was an attempt made to add electricity and water on shore, but so far, it has failed. However, you can call for water and diesel to be delivered to your boat by a tanker truck and the grocery stores in town will also deliver. Come early if you want to be sure of a place to tie up.
